The GF has a Dell 1545 that only came with 1gb of RAM (on Vista Home Premium 32bit) and its practically unusable due to freezing, I'm going to replace the 1gb with the 2gb from my Samsung laptop and buy 4gb for the Samsung. I'm not sure of the memory speed capability of the Samsung if I buy 800mhz would it just operate at the lower speed if 800 is to fast?

Yes  More important I would say is to check the timings and operating voltage as if it can't get enough volts there could be issues, same for timings _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

Hmms I can't find much on google (probably looking in all the wrong places. The Laptop is a Samsung R40 plus, under CPU-Z the motherboard is just listed as R40P/R41P manufacturer Samsung. Would this work in it? Hobgob. _________________Twitter: AdamW89 Flickr: The Hobgob

I don't know, I'm not psychic  Use the Crucial/Corsair memory advisor to get the specs of the RAM you need as it will tell you exactly (well speed, max ram...get the timing and volts from the recommendation) _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

Seems my PC will only take 2gb of RAM 1gb per slot. Never mind I guess that will save me some money, ill just buy another 1gb stick for the GF's lappy.

I got a Kingston 1gb 800 mhz stick for a tenner from Play.com recently, and I looked all round the place to see if I could get it even cheaper than that, so... _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:
